Running it on a commercial DVD player,  I see the static page is waiting 
for the user to press either the <Go Up> or <Next Chapter> buttons.

This may be related to the problem with the THX sound tests on the Star 
Wars Episode 1 DVD.  Each speaker, when tested in turn, is one step 
ahead of the picture on the screen (ie Left Front speaker is highlighted 
when test tone comes through center channel).  Debug report follows 
(note the large audio sync times):
